Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Both statements are true.

Statement 1 is true because the Hindu view of communication does rest on the precept that reality is undivided, an integral whole underlying apparent multiplicity.

This non-dual outlook treats communication as participation in a single shared reality rather than an exchange between wholly separate parties.

Statement 2 is true because, in the ancient Hindu view, language is indeed regarded as a means to acquire knowledge and reach understanding.

The hearing and grasping of the word are pathways to insight and realisation of truth.

Since both the vision of undivided reality and the knowledge-giving role of language are accurate, both stand together.
